The Fixer

in #sewing5 years ago

A mum can be anything and everything to her kids and, in our house, one of the many things I am is... The Fixer!

Broken play swords, stuck zips, broken toys, and now, socks!

Now I would normally just throw away a sock with a hole in it but in these times with too much waste and, more importantly, Tayler is very fond on these socks!

So I grabbed a needle and some coloured threads (Tayler chose the blue thread), and a ball (I have no idea where my darning mushroom is!), and I got darning. I showed Tayler my progress and he was very happy with the finished sock.

One happy kid!

That is one angry looking sock. It should be more grateful.

How sweet. We certainly have our share of holey socks. I should give it a go.

It’s not very difficult and there are lots of tutorials online. Plus, even if your stitches are messy, it’s only on a sock!
There’s a trend at the moment of fixing holes in clothes with very visible and decorative stitches. There are some wonderful examples, just search visible mending. :)
